Why Aryaa for Me?

Aryaa inspired me and opened the path to discovering my Dharma—my life purpose. It has given me wings and reminded me that NOW is the time to act, not wait. Everything Aryaa stands for, I believe... I breathe... and I teach.

Aryaa’s mission is deeply aligned with my vision of self-realization, where I can use my natural gifts and the wisdom I’ve gathered throughout my life to become a vessel for healing and helping shift consciousness during this era of chaos and transformation. Aryaa is The Wave that will give humanity a taste of how Eternal Wisdom can transform lives.

As Aryaa’s Head of Product Development, I am filled with excitement knowing that through the co-creation of our timeless products, I can motivate humanity to rediscover the secrets of healing their bodies, minds, and souls through sacred foods, ancient healing modalities, and rituals. I love that Aryaa has granted me the opportunity to ignite curiosity in modern life—awakening people to their forgotten cultures, as well as other traditions from around the world.

My Journey to Aryaa

My search for healing, for reconnecting with my lineage, began many decades ago. Though my genetic composition touches almost every continent, my roots are primarily Germanic, Spanish, and Mexican. From a young age, I was captivated by the wisdom of elders, especially my maternal grandfather, who was half Spaniard and half Mixtec, a cultural group from Oaxaca, Mexico.

The stories he told me were endless, and my love for ancestral wisdom grew stronger over time. I was raised learning to nourish my body through local foods, herbs, and family recipes passed down through my maternal grandmother’s lineage. In Mexican culture, cooking together as a family, blessing the food, and offering prayers of gratitude before each meal were daily rituals. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the deeper meaning of these practices; I simply cherished the time spent preparing meals with my grandmother. Now, I recognize the sacredness of it all—the energy of love infused into each meal and the healing nourishment it brought to our bodies.

As I grew older, I had the privilege of living in different countries and communing with various cultures. However, as life grew busier, I lost touch with my roots and became consumed by the distractions of modern life. My body responded to this disconnection with chronic pain and autoimmune symptoms. For 20 years, I sought answers from doctors and tried every pharmaceutical from A to Z, but nothing worked.

I realized that true healing required an understanding of the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. This drove me to research and explore new ways to heal myself and help others. Despite my knowledge in nutrition and spirituality, I felt something was missing—until the day Aryaa came into my life.

That was the missing piece! How could I have forgotten the traditions and teachings from my early years? And how easily has modern humanity forgotten this wisdom from our ancestors? Why are certain ancient cultures still resilient to the conditions we see today? What did my Germanic, Spanish, and Mixtec ancestors know about preparing food and following ancient rituals that healed and balanced their bodies? How have we lost this, opting instead for modern medications?

These questions reignited my journey of remembrance, pushing me to rediscover where I came from. They also sparked a shared mission within Aryaa to travel the world and commune with elders, healers, and experts from ancestral communities.
